I have been using the following setting
SET CUAENTER          OFF
for my app for the past approx 4 years.
Being invoicing app Enter moves cursor to next field and without this it
would be hell pressing tab to navigate between fields.
And once a pushbutton has focus (in Z order) Enter serves the purpose.

For this special care is required in setting the Z order.

And I rely heavily on keyboard (Or to be precise numeric key pad). I
prefer not to use the mouse.
(I am the programmer / data entry operator/ owner all in one)
